Line 1: A '''penalty''' in [[ice hockey]] is a [[punishment]] for inappropriate [[behavior]]. A [[Official (ice hockey)#Referees|referee]] makes most penalty calls. A [[Official (ice hockey)#Linesmen|linesman]] may call only obvious technical infractions such as ''too many men on the ice''. In the NHL, the linesman may call major intent-to-injure penalties that the referee may have missed. The statistic used to track penalties is called ''' During a penalty, the player who committed the infraction is sent to the [[penalty box]]. In most cases, the penalized team cannot replace that player and is thus [[Shorthanded (hockey)|shorthanded]] for the duration of the penalty. Normally, hockey teams have five skaters (excluding the [[goaltender]]), so if one penalty is called, play becomes five-on-four. |
